CBA roundup We're 61 days in, and the games-mi sed tracker remains at 326, plus the Winter Cla sic. (That game doesn't get added to the total because it could still be played -- it would just be played at Joe Louis Arena as a regular game instead of an outdoor celebration.) Could mediation ever be in the cards for the NHL lockout? Both sides have hinted at some willingne s to try it out, but that's as far as the idea seems to have gone. However, renowned mediator Judge Arthur Boylan, who sat in on the dispute between the NFL and its union in last year's lockout, would love a crack at Kenny Golladay Jersey it, and at a very reasonable cost.Serious question: What's the harm in giving this a try? There is no risk here whatsoever, but there is plenty of potential reward. Somebody give Boylan the commi sioner's phone number, please. ( ) Whenever this lockout ends, the NHL is going to face a tough task in bringing fans back to the game. After the last lockout, the league introduced some new rules intended to increase scoring and, presumably, excitement. We've tried that before. Kevin Kurz says the NHL should throw another bone the fans' way, one that has already been discu sed. It still remains a mystery why this hasn't been part of the CBA discu sions all along, anyway. Winnipeg Jeremy Shockey Jersey can't stay in the Southeast Division forever. ( ) Everybody who was once involved with the game in some form or another has an opinion on the lockout, and the outsiders are usually pretty tough. That's literally and figuratively the case for Rob Ray, who believes commi sioner Gary Bettman is playing a very dangerous game. ( ) We all know that it's not the superstars who feel the most pain from the lockout -- and who ease that minimal pain by finding jobs overseas -- but it's the grinders, the fourth-liners without the mega-salaries. The 's of the NHL, if you will. It's opening his eyes to what life will be like after hockey, as he explained to Sarah McLellan. ( )This is an awesome story from the lockout. The Nashville Predators and some of their rowdiest fans pulled their own form of a flash mob by showing up at a kid's hockey game and packing the rink with spectators, including game-day operations Shane Lemieux Jersey staff, making the rink look and sound just like a Preds game, TV interviews and Barry Trotz coaching included. The best part of the story, or at least the funniest -- Trotz going to the penalty box to console a crying player. ( ) Vancouver Canucks goaltender doesn't exactly understand why the owners are taking such a hard line on contract rights and thinks they will eventually blink. ( ) Hockey fixSpeaking of Schneider, he's pretty good at this goaltending thing, as you might have heard by now. Remember this ridiculous save from last season? That's pure instinct (and covering Tiki Barber Jersey one's own behind!)KHL updateThe KHL finally resumed action on Wednesday, and of the Capitals turned in a hat trick after the long rest.Simulated scores Games have been canceled, and your favorite players are overseas, but you can still see how your team would be doing.
